WHAT IS THE MILLENNIAL SHIFT? WHO ARE MILLENNIALS?The reshaping of everything fromcommunication and technology to innovation, both inside and outside of an organization, driving new social and operating norms in line with the expectations of the millennial generation.
Millennials, also known as Generation Y, were born between 1982 and 1994.
• 1/3 of all employees are millennials
• By 2025, millennials will account for 75% of the workforce
While many IT departments say they’re preparing for the millennial shift, when asked specifically about their strategies to address the IT needs of a changing workforce, their answers still revealed major gaps.
PREPARATION:
Technology knowledge is at the heart of the issue with the millennial shift. Organizations that aren’t already investing in mobile, including adopting a BYOD policy, should start now.
NEW TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENT:
MANAGING THE MILLENNIAL SHIFT:To narrow their millennial preparedness gap, IT departments need a plan for rapid adoption of technologies that will help organizations attract and retain millennials, which could also involve rethinking their human resource policies.
Findings based on a joint survey by Randstad Technologies and IDG Research Services.
